Been Waiting for this one. Always fun to watch Heavies throw down. My heart is with Junior, but have to give the edge to Cain. Might place a bet on this one. Have to check the odds. Don't like the whole "Brown Power" thing with Cain. If a white fighter tatoos "White Power" across his chest, he is branded a racist or white supremacist. How come it doesn't work both ways? Junior is such a nice, humble guy, and lasted 5 rounds with Cain last time, despite having a broken jaw, and word is he has been concentrating on his take down defense in training, so you can't underestimate his heart. He has never been knocked out.
Anyway, Cormier vs Big Country will be interesting too, until Roy gasses out. I give him a puncher's chance in the first round, but Cormier will probably take him down.
Nice card....

I like junior to win this.....but the last match he got beat down badly. I'm not betting on this one just going to enjoy two big boys go at it. I do think Cormier and Melendez will win and placed those bets down. Thanks for the line up Mr. B.

 

[Cainea]

Got Gonzaga at +200 which is a very good value in my book. No other bets besides that.

I think Velasquez, Cormier, Melendez and Dodson will get a W this time

 

[chazz michaels]

His tattoo says 'Brown Pride', not 'Power'. Slight difference....

Thanks for the links Bongjangles.

 

[Mr. Bongjangles]

LMAO where did they find the faces of meth looking ref for the Boetsch/Dolloway fight??

 

[RetroGrow]

Correct. My bad. But "White pride" is politically incorrect also.....same connotations. Question is why? Every race should have pride, or a right to it. But a tattoo of "white pride" would be considered racist skinheads/Nazis, etc. even if you actually didn't belong to any of those groups.

I thought the same thing when I looked @ the lines. Odds all too long on favorites. Gonzaga is the only good "Bet" there @ +155. I'm picking him to win by submission. His jiu jitso is good. I haven't seen the other dude, so didn't bet. +200 is really good. Where did you get that? What book? I saw + 155, so +200 tempts me.....

Dodson is a little beast. I am watching at rojadirecta.me then go to their zonasports.me link and you will get a much better stream. thank me later.

I like jones and velasquez to win. If I had white pride tatted on me well... not much difference than power really. I do not care either way but the point made above is valid. Do not think he is racist but double standards do exist.

 

[festerous]

I call first round JDS win by submission!

I understand what you are saying Retro.

I just think that 'White Power' is different because of the history of slavery and the KKK etc.

I am a white person myself, but imagine I have all different ethnicities in my blood, like almost everyone....

Still not a great idea for a tattoo.

 

[Yesca73]

going for la raza but I do like dos santos also
should be a good fight
@ retro - white folks do have those same kinda tats
mr. Bongjangles thanks for always posting links

 

[yesum]

Amazing fight for Sanchez, think he won. Use the link I posted above, much better than first row.

I'm not seeing the zonasports.me link from rojadirecta?
Where's it at, or just post link you are watching please....

 

[yesum]

http://zonasports.me/canal-1.shtml#www.rojadirecta.me Very good link.

Just started freezing here but was stutter free before, will see how it does. Still better than first row.

That link not working well for me....depends where you are.
Roy Nelson needs to lose 40 pounds of fat. He was gassed in the first round. If he would just get in shape, he might have a chance.

 

[yesum]

I added a hotlink too if that helps. back on first page. Yea, Jones was tired and just is not as fast as Cormier.

Wanted Jones to knock him out but not gonna happen. I like finishers more than guys that win on points

 

[chazz michaels]

I find that the some of the higher number streams work better, 6, 7, 8, 9.....

 

[RetroGrow]

I'm praying for Junior, even though I am agnostic.

 

[yesum]

Decent fight, got a finish of sorts. Velasquez is not as exciting with the dirty boxing, pushing and hugging, smothering crap, but really talented.
